I hope one day you make it back on KZbin again! From a fan's point of view, I was crushed when I learned of Marley's passing in the video you made. It was so tough to watch, as I had also been in a similar situation with my pet. I really enjoyed your videos and the adventurous exploring you both did. I just wanted to let you know we are still here, and I hope you make it back out again.

There's no such word as 'Bothy' in Welsh, it's likely to be a mispronunciation of the word bwthun, which is the Welsh word for cottage.

from your previous research on this trail, was there any reason why you chose that way around?
@2FeetForward2 ай бұрын
We wanted to start in Mex and get that killer climb over the col de jorat out of the way on the first day , it really is a slog up . I guess we just followed the direction of the race . At the time most of the vids on here were always taken on race day so I familiarised myself with the route that way round , it was a pain the road to Mex was closed and we had to do that climb on the last day . We only met one group doing it anti clockwise over the whole trip and I reckon walking down from that col would test your shins and knees for sure . It’d still be a top route either way .Are you thinking of doing it then ?

To be honest I’ve probably 5 or 6 trips that I’ve videoed on the Mac but just can’t seem to find the time to edit any of them .

Just come across this via the search algorithm as it is. I always keep three days of food and water in my crash out kit (Go bag) which stays in the under boot of my car. Even if I venture out on a camp I still keep it replenished just in case. Never know when it will be needed. Usual kit inc. Fire starters and fero rod, spirit burner and billie can. 8 litres of water and comprehensive first aid ruck, that sort of thing. Brilliant video loved the drama of your adventure. Marly was the star of course!

Hey , I'm considering this path on the summer, with a small dog (use to montaging hiking) but is small none the less (mini dachs) The scrambling on the way down to the watking path seems un easy. would you rather recommend the Pyg Track for dog ?
@2FeetForward10 ай бұрын
There is only a couple of bits where you may have to help your pooch but they’re not bad to be honest . It really depends on how capable your dog is though . I would much rather take this route than the pig track any day , simply because it’s sooo much quieter but again , it all depends on your dogs capability. Maybe safer to stick to the pig track and try this one another time on your own 👍

Hello Glyn , that would be our Tera nova quasar , it’s one of the original ‘90s models . The last time I checked you could still get the uk made yellow and grey version from terra nova as well as the standard green ones but that was a good while ago now .I think the quasar was the first tent to withstand 100mph winds in a wind tunnel so it’s pretty bomb proof and the main reason we bought it .
